Vielen Dank an Tanja Lambert, The last Manager of „The Flix Cinema“, Hameln

The “Schauburg” Cinema in Hameln was the first troop cinema for the Allied Troops in Hamelin! But in 1956 a new cinema was opened with 300 seats nearby GORDON BARRACKS! As part of the increased security measures in the 90s of the last century, the cinema was then fenced and now situated within the grounds of Gordon Barracks, Süntelstraße 24, block 29! The cinema was also often used as a lecture hall and classroom by the British troops! Just as The movie theater was also used for meetings of Germans, who worked for the British Garrison! Until almost the final “off” of the British Forces in Hameln “Flix” was in operation! Last manager of the cinema was Tanja Lambert!

She started her career in 1997 as a temporary, because she wanted to do someone a favor. Tanja liked the job and so she made her exam for a projectionist and her first film she showed in Flix was “George of the Jungle”! The movie she hated the most was the movie “Titanic”. The film was over 180 minutes, with break because the roles had to be changed! That drew the evening always unnecessary in the length, so she told me! When she had to show the Film “Scream 2”, she always felt a little bit queasy, because during the film the lights always began to flicker in projection room so the creepy mood spread through the theater!

Disney’s “Frozen” was the last film she showed on 29.03.2014.

Tanja remember the last prices that were as follows: Seat Prices: Adult (18 and over) 6 euros Child (3-17 years) 4 € Students 4 € Seniors (60 and over) 4 Euro Family ticket 16 Euro Doors open 30 minutes prior to film showing Many thanks to Tanya Lambert, The last manager of “The Flix Cinema”, Hameln
